On rank aggregation for face recognition from videos

TLDR
A video based face recognition algorithm that computes a discriminative video signature as an ordered list of still face images to facilitate matching two videos with large variations is presented.
Abstract
Face recognition from still face images suffers due to intrapersonal variations caused by pose, illumination, and expression that degrade the performance. On the other hand, videos provide abundant information that can be leveraged to compensate the limitations of still face images and enhance face recognition performance. This paper presents a video based face recognition algorithm that computes a discriminative video signature as an ordered list of still face images. The video signature embeds diverse intra-personal and temporal variations across multiple frames, thus facilitates matching two videos with large variations. Two videos are matched by comparing their discriminative signatures using the Kendall tau similarity distance measure. Performance comparison with the benchmark results and a commercial face recognition system on the publicly available YouTube faces database show the efficacy of the proposed video based face recognition algorithm.

On video based face recognition through adaptive sparse dictionary

TL;DR: This paper proposes a video-based face recognition method which improves upon the sparse representation framework with an intelligent and adaptive sparse dictionary that updates the current probe image into the training matrix based on continuously monitoring the probe video through a novel confidence criterion and a Bayesian inference scheme.

System for video based face recognition using an adaptive dictionary

TL;DR: In this paper, a dictionary including a target collection defined by images that are known with a defined level of certainty to include a subject and an imposter collection defined of images of individuals other than the subject is used.

An approach to improvise recognition rate from occluded and pose variant faces

TL;DR: A model that can increase the recognition rate with faces of different pose and faces subjected to occlusion is proposed and the technique of in-painting to restore the occluded face in a frame of video is introduced.

Face tracking and recognition with visual constraints in real-world videos

TL;DR: This work addresses the problem of tracking and recognizing faces in real-world, noisy videos using a tracker that adaptively builds a target model reflecting changes in appearance, typical of a video setting and introduces visual constraints using a combination of generative and discriminative models in a particle filtering framework.

Face recognition with image sets using manifold density divergence

TL;DR: A flexible, semi-parametric model for learning probability densities confined to highly non-linear but intrinsically low-dimensional manifolds is proposed, which leads to a statistical formulation of the recognition problem in terms of minimizing the divergence between densities estimated on these manifolds.

Face Recognition from Long-Term Observations

TL;DR: This work addresses the problem of face recognition from a large set of images obtained over time - a task arising in many surveillance and authentication applications and proposes an information-theoretic algorithm that classifies sets of images using the relative entropy between the estimated density of the input set and that of stored collections of images for each class.
